How many access points does a Sudbury office need?
As a rule of thumb, plan on one business-grade access point per 1,500 to 2,500 square feet, with adjustments for construction type and device density. Concrete buildings and warehouses need more.
From: full articleIs Wi-Fi 6 worth it for a small business?
Yes. Wi-Fi 6 access points handle far more devices simultaneously, produce better real-world speeds, and are usually the same price as older equipment now. Wi-Fi 6E adds a clean 6 GHz band in newer buildings.
From: full articleCan mesh Wi-Fi work in an office?
Consumer mesh systems can work for very small offices but do not scale well past 15 to 20 users. Business environments should use dedicated ceiling-mounted access points with a wired backhaul.
From: full articleWhy does Wi-Fi drop when I walk across the office?
That is a roaming issue. Access points need to be configured with matching SSIDs, proper channel plans, and modern roaming standards so devices hand off smoothly instead of staying stuck on the far access point.
From: full articleDo you install business Wi-Fi in Sudbury?
Yes. Nickel City Tech Solutions designs, installs, and supports business Wi-Fi networks across Greater Sudbury, Lively, Val Caron, Chelmsford, and surrounding communities, including retail, professional, and industrial environments.
